"The STEREO AUDIO OUT terminals automatically down-mix the multi-channel audio source into the stereo signals. However, STEREO AUDIO OUT will NOT be affected by the “Down mix” modes and other speaker settings in the Audio Processing of Setup Menu (described on page 70)."

Is from the manual. I guess that means you can set it up for your home theatre and NOT have to change anything to play SACD via your stereo Happy to be corrected and look forward to your updates as I'm thinking of buying one to use in the same way

Hi Visionary,

It turns out that you do need to keep TV switched off when you are listening to a SACD disc as the Oppo will try to output through the HDMI port as well as the phonos if it is not disabled in the menu.

This machine has obviously been designed with home theatre in mind and not one to be used in the manner that I have it hooked-up.

That said to not let me put you off getting one because after first audition it is quite apparent that picture quality is better than my Sony BDP-S790 blu-ray player and sound quality with SACD's is better than my Marantz SA15S1!

Motto: Never pay full price for anything, there is always room to haggle!

Thanks for that. I'm looking for a day off when I can go down to Coventry and have a demo with David. Your feedback confirms the urge to do it
